Bagan, Myanmar
There are over 2,000 Buddhist shrines in Bagan where you can find hundreds of pagodas that were built in the 11th and 12th century. They were all restored from 1995 to 2008, so many tourists start coming in by thousands and, again, causing a lot of damages to the area.
Many people like to climb the pagodas in order to get a good view, but what they mostly do is deterioration of the great ancient constructions.
Where will people stop being selfish?
Nuuk, Greenland
Greenland is known to be one of the prettiest countries in there, and Nuuk is its capital and also the home of polar bears and snow. The reason why this city is getting destroyed is the government because they decided to rebuild gemstone industry, which will lead to the constructions of mines and huge changes in the ecological situation.
Also, Greenland’s coastal ice may melt by the year 2100, knowing that this city is situated on the edge of the island.
Lake Nicaragua
Nicaragua is the only home to freshwater sharks, so they don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, the government decided to construct the Nicaraguan Canal and connecting it to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in July 2014.
There will be hundreds of villages that will be moved and evacuated and technically will strip this place of more than 0.5M hectares of marshes and rainforests. We don’t know the real reason behind the government’s decision, but we know that it wasn’t a wise one.
The Seychelles Islands
This is where you can find gorgeous islands with gorgeous beaches that are gradually drowning. Due to climate change and the sudden rise of sea level, we can see the sandstone erosion, extinction of corals, and islands washing away.
